    From my experience, its gorgeous scenery BUT the transportation is antiquated, resulting in higher travel expenses because I had to Uber everywhere.... Rent a car or have alternative transportation set up if you do decide to visit SLO. Theres only two buses out there that run once an hour. And one bus on the weekends.

    Absolutely beautiful area.

    Absolutely beautiful area. Very charming downtown with a wide variety of restaurants and shops. Beaches a short drive away. Highly recommend SLO Provisions for breakfast. El Esquina for a delicious meal. Farmers Market on Thursday nights give a wonderful sense of local products, foods and services. Very easy to walk around downtown. Morro Bay is an easy 20 min away. A beautiful drive. Morro Bay is a charming beach filled with local surfers, people walking their dogs or just hanging out to soak in the waves and surrounding beauty.

    Close to downtown, shopping and restaurants to include the famous Madonna Inn. We were there to visit our student at CalPoly. Great amenities for our family. Always nice to have extra space in our room with the living room/dining area.

    Very pleasant town with access to beautiful hikes.

    Very pleasant town with access to beautiful hikes. Easy to get around. I loved how unique all the different buildings and houses were. Food was only decent, but not terrible. Good breweries, too! Very walkable. The highlight was going to the hot spring resort for their hour-use tubs.

    Beautiful place to visit.

    Beautiful place to visit. University town with a lovely walkable downtown. Lots of restaurants. Many people biking. Close to Pismo and Avila Beach, Morro Bay (and Rock) and the gorgeous central coast.Always love coming to SLO but it can be very pricey. This was a quick family visit so didn’t eat out much. Always find time for a latte at Scout coffee. If you are on a budget, check out hotel prices in advance prior to choosing dates. Inexpensive places jump to over $200 per night during certain weekends.

    We went for an early morning run up the convenient bike path into SLO. We had a great tour of the city on foot and visited the El Camino Real sites and the Mission. We ran back through the hills and had a great view of the surrounding areas. Worth returning to visit. High up on the historic trail.

    You could make yourself some pancakes for breakfast. They were really delicious and you could always meet someone in the kitchen and the living room area. The hosts are really nice people and you feel really welcomed, safe and comfortable around the house. There are enough bathrooms and everything was really clean. The beach is only a few miles with a car anbd San Luis Obispo is a really clean and interesting city itself. Overall a really good experience.

    For what looks like a standard motel, this place has little touches that punch above its weight. Friendly staff, good breakfast including good coffee, cute outdoor seating areas (chairs on balcony outside breakfast room, Adirondack under a tree, might even be some by the creek), local newspapers. We were able to walk Downtown (maybe 15-20 minutes), though there are also some nice restaurants just down the block.

    I like that the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the pool area was lit up so beautifully, the jacuzzi was amazing! The beds were very clean and comfortable. For the money we paid, I think it was so worth it. Didn’t feel like a cheap / dirty hotel. The bed sheets and blankets felt good quality. Also, we were a 6 minute drive from San Luis Obispo, and only a 15 minute drive from Pismo beach.

    We did not plan to stay in San Luis Obispo, but decided to have a rest stop after a long drive. It was a fast and very good decision to book this hotel. Neighborhood is very quiet and welcoming. The price of the room was very nice considering that it’s California where everything is expensive. Room was big and clean, beds were comfy. I would recommend it for anyone.
